The Importance of Evergreen - The Residents

The crystal clear is purist

The world was ever taught

Is in the dreams of evergreen

And what the price may cost

A picnic day with Mornay

Beside the fireplace

For is to find a Pumpkin Pie

And smiles on mothers face

Is Anado in Camelot

Between Niagara Falls

Is nightingales

Between the tales

Of ivy covered halls!

Is sun rise on a tropic?

I’ll be seeing you again

Evergreen, Oh Evergreen (Evergreen, Oh Evergreen)

Your seeds must now be sown (Your seeds must now be sown)

Evergreen, Oh Evergreen (Evergreen, Oh Evergreen)

Own all the winds be blown!

(Own all the winds be blown!)
